The implementation of __sizeof__() methods using _PyObject_SIZE() now
use an unsigned type (size_t) to compute the size, rather than a signed
type (Py_ssize_t).
Cast explicitly signed (Py_ssize_t) values to unsigned type
(Py_ssize_t).
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541
* Move _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to pycore_call.h (internal C API).
* _ssl, _sqlite and _testcapi extensions now call the public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() function, rather than _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
* _lsprof extension is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined to get access to internal _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
Fix typo in the private _PyObject_CallNoArg() function name: rename
it to _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to be consistent with the public
function PyObject_CallNoArgs().
The truncate() method of io.BufferedReader() should raise
UnsupportedOperation when it is called on a read-only
io.BufferedReader() instance.

When called on a closed object, readinto() segfaults on account
of a write to a freed buffer:
==220553== Process terminating with default action of signal 11 (SIGSEGV): dumping core
==220553== Access not within mapped region at address 0x2A
==220553== at 0x48408A0: memmove (vg_replace_strmem.c:1272)

==220553== by 0x58DCBA: _io__Buffered_readinto (bufferedio.c.h:253)
Reproducer:
reader = open ("/dev/zero", "rb")
_void = reader.read (42)
reader.close ()
reader.readinto (bytearray (42)) ### BANG!
The problem exists since 2012 when commit dc469454ec added code
to free the read buffer on close().

It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.
This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.
* Maintain a list of BufferedWriter objects. Flush them on exit.
In Python 3, the buffer and the underlying file object are separate
and so the order in which objects are finalized matters. This is
unlike Python 2 where the file and buffer were a single object and
finalization was done for both at the same time. In Python 3, if
the file is finalized and closed before the buffer then the data in
the buffer is lost.
This change adds a doubly linked list of open file buffers. An atexit
hook ensures they are flushed before proceeding with interpreter
shutdown. This is addition does not remove the need to properly close
files as there are other reasons why buffered data could get lost during
finalization.
Initial patch by Armin Rigo.
* Use weakref.WeakSet instead of WeakKeyDictionary.
* Simplify buffered double-linked list types.
* In _flush_all_writers(), suppress errors from flush().
* Remove NEWS entry, use blurb.
* Take more care when flushing file buffers from atexit.
The previous implementation was not careful enough to avoid
causing issues in multi-threaded cases. Check for buf->ok
and buf->finalizing before actually doing the flush. Also,
increase the refcnt to ensure the object does not disappear.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).

* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() when the format string was only made of "O"
formats, PyObject* arguments.
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
